A SINGAPORE Democratic Party (SDP) member who was investigated for inciting violence against a minister has quit the party, citing internal disagreements.

Mr Abdul Malik Mohammed Ghazali, 27, was arrested in August last year for his comment on a Facebook group page set up to complain about the Youth Olympic Games' organising committee.

In the comment, he said it was time to 'burn Vivian Balakrishnan and the PAP'.

A day after his arrest, he met SDP leaders and later joined the party. The project executive helped out in organising rallies and walkabouts.

Last Friday, the police said in response to media queries that they will not be taking any further action against him.

Contacted yesterday, Mr Malik said he quit the SDP because of internal disagreements on 'matters of principle'.

He said some members were unhappy that he spoke to the media without prior approval about the case against him and were thinking of drawing up new guidelines. He felt these would be too restrictive: 'These protocols go against party ideals of democracy. It's very heavy-handed.'

Mr Malik, who e-mailed his resignation to SDP chief Chee Soon Juan on Tuesday night, also disclosed yesterday that he has applied to join the Singapore Malay National Organisation, a component party of the Singapore Democratic Alliance.

SDP members linked to ISIS: "Muhammad Shamin Mohamed Sidek 29, and Muhammad Harith Jailani, 18, were detained in August this year. Investigations showed that they had harboured the intention to make their way to Syria to join the terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and engage in violence there, MHA said".

Activists that are ashamed to be called SDP members:

Ng E JayPleaded guilty to TBT trial immediately after trial starts

Yap Keng HoRaised nonsensical questions in TBT trial such that Chia Ti Lik asked him to shut up

Priveen Suraj (President, YD)Graduated from Millenia InstituteJoined SDP due to Mother Narayanasamy Gogelavany aka Monica Kumar, who contested in GE2006. During nomination day, she amended her name on the form but did not seek the Elections Official to countersign, which nearly resulted in SDP's disqualification to contest Sembawang GRC (Source).
